Biography
Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani was born in Saudi Arabia, and he became a second lieutenant in its air force and was sent to the United States to learn how to fly US aircraft supplied to his country. Alshamrani was an Islamist who, on Twitter, quoted al-Qaeda leaders Osama Bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki. In 2019, he published an online manifesto in which he expressed hatred toward Americans (including their military presence in the Middle East) and his opposition to US support for Israel, and, at 6:51 AM on 6 December 2019, he opened fire in a classroom building at Naval Air Station Pensacola using a Glock 45 handgun. He killed three people and injured two deputies before being shot dead. US representative Matt Gaetz was quick to label the incident an "act of terror, not an act of workplace violence", while Donald Trump claimed that Alshamrani's actions did not represent the views of Saudi Arabia.
